Light cherry hue. A creature from this very coldest of seasons, this carries aromas of red apple skin, raspberry and sour cherry. Then comes a twist of orange peel and the typically beguiling, very Brunnen site specific mix of spices: angelica, fennel seed and even a little liquorice root leaning into more bark and forest floor-derived autumnal notes. The palate is light as per the season dictates but built deceptively through vine age, low cropping levels and natural acidity. More of the light raspberry and hints of sweet wood spice, and an earthen tannin persistence.
